Eric and Bethany Marsland have a long history in the restaurant business. The husband-and-wife team who currently operate Champ’s Diner on Front Street have owned several establishments within and outside the city. But the couple says they have one more venture in them before they retire and plan to take their culinary offerings up a level with Fazzini’s, a new Italian restaurant slated to open on Diamond Hill Road this spring.

Fazzini’s, located in the former Brick House building, will offer fine Italian dining at affordable prices, according to the couple. The dining room menu will feature Italian classics including steak, pasta and seafood, while a pub menu will feature more casual fare and a banquet room will seat 125 guests. According to Eric, emphasis will be on quality customer service and food as the couple strives to deliver a Federal Hill-level experience without the need to leave the Blackstone Valley.
